What is recorded here
Ballywarren holds an urn burial and possibly a standing stone, marking a prehistoric landscape where death and witness shared one address. The urn suggests a body was transformed before entering soil, while the uncertain stone implies a vertical marker still watched the field. Together they frame a place where the dead remained present, measured in clay and stone rather than forgotten.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as URN BURIAL & possibly site of Standing Stone. Recorded period: PREHISTORIC. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
Prehistoric urn burial, likely dating to the Neolithic or Early Bronze Age. Its significance lies in providing evidence of funerary practices and possible ritual activity in the prehistoric landscape.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
